Supply and Demand, if people are willing to pay it, it will keep going up!

That's because in other countries...like Switzerland for example, the government takes care of EVERYTHING for you. Healthcare, housing, school, everything. In the end, it evens out.

The government is spending WAY too much money, which leads to inflation, which leads to higher prices to compensate. That's why the price of everything is going up! Even places with low demand. Inflation is an indirect tax, because you will have to pay more for products because of government spending. Until Georgie Boy can control his spending, the prices will continue to go up. That's why a rich kid shouldn't be president, they don't know how to manage money. |

yeah I hear you. things will be screwed up for a long time after this presidency. but honestly I don't mind that library so much considering Clinton balanced the budget and had things in order before President Bush came into office .. but we really shouldn't talk about that cause it could start something
